50 Best Taco Restaurants in Atlanta

“AMAZING flavor!!!! I’ll be back…maybe in an hour.“

“What can I say? The food is amazing. What a gem in the city - fresh, hot, tasty, etc. You can have tacos and a beverage in a place with great ambience. This place is a fave of mine and can’t wait to visit agin. #LocalATLgem“

“I tried the tacos recently and they were amazingly on point being from LA I really appreciated the taste from home!“

“I just wanted to say thank you to the owner or the waitress who answered the door and gave me my food.

On Saturday 1/24/26 I was working overnight on my patrol shift at 1:50 am and decided to come to this restaurant. (Per One of the social media food reviewers)

I forgot the woman name but she came to the door and said they already closed up.

It wasn't an issue because I knew they close at 2am. But the lady offered to make me some tacos after already closed up🙏🏿.

When I say I could smell the food through the container and it was so damn delicious!!! Y'all did y'all thang .
The taco shells was fried crispy and the filling was full of flavor and the toppings were fresh!!

I will be back with my family to order the whole menu👍🏿💪🏿

Thanks again 🇺🇸“

“The experience ended up being amazing, even though it started off a little rough. Brian (I believe that was his name) walked past me three times without acknowledging me at all. I had to speak to him first, and when I asked about being seated outside with the heaters on, he said “let me check” and never came back.

Thankfully, Alexia came over, greeted me properly, and apologized for the wait. It was a bit chilly outside, but she made sure the heater was on, and then Andy brought over a personal heater to make sure I was comfortable.

Taly was simply amazing and so pleasant. She checked on me consistently and made sure everything was okay.

Overall, the service from Alexia, Andy, and Taly was a 10/10.“

“Perfect spot for a casual Tex Mex meal. Tacos were spot-on: flavorful fillings, soft tortillas, and great toppings. Quick service, spacious vibe, and solid portions. The margaritas were strong, refreshing, and perfectly balanced. They’ve got a large patio seating as well. Definitely coming back!“

“Food is great and like the new menu! Unfortunately the new full service format is really slow for lunch versus the old counter serve (and there was a decent bit of confusion on what was ordered between multiple food runners) so I will not be back for lunch.“

“Visited this Velvet Taco location today and we had a great experience! Crystal greeted us promptly with a smile and was very patient and helpful with all our ordering questions. She constantly kept busy, taking orders and even wiping tables when needed. She is awesome! Our tacos and sides were fresh and delicious! We would absolutely recommend this place. They exceeded our expectations!“

“We love Little Rey!! We worked with Baleigh from LR when planning our Rehearsal Dinner for our wedding weekend, and we had such a great experience!! Their team was very easy to communicate with, and they offer a third party delivery service so we were able to have our food delivered/set up at our venue stress free! Our rehearsal dinner was at a local brewery, so their delicious tacos were perfect fit for the event. We had SO many compliments from our guests about how amazing the food was-- the food was very fresh and tasty and such a beautiful display! We would highly recommend and are so thankful for their help in making our event so special!“

“The battered cauliflower taco was divine. So so good. I ordered one because I didn't know what to expect. It was so good that I ordered a second one. They were able to make it vegan. I asked for the cashier to take off anything that was hot. It had a little kick but tolerable which is rare for me. The price was under $6 which is a great value.“

“This was my first time here and I truly enjoyed it! Our server, Daniella was excellent! She helped with drink choices and food choices! (I tried the Rudolph). The atmosphere was very chilled! Love it! My family and I will definitely come back!“

“First time there, love it, would definitely go again“

“They have the most delicious food for such a great price!!

Edit 9/20/19: Extremely disappointed with the price. The food is still good but the price double. Unbelievable. Not worth the price for the food. Huarache use to be $2.50 now it's $5 . Not worth it!!!!“

“Whoever is back there cooking needs they feet rubbed everynight, this food is so delicious 😋 😩 burritos 10000/10 tacos 10000/10 this is what I would call authentic food. My son and I split a burrito and I wanted to go back for another one. Its also so affordable. If I could eat this everyday I would 😩“

“Best tacos in Sandy Springs and I would go as far to say in the metro area. Their prices are phenomenal. The portions are fair. The employees are so kind and go the extra mile. Last night, they called me twice- once to tell me they were out of an item then another time to apologize for giving me a cheese tamale rather than a chicken tamale. I’ve never seen a business go out of their way to inform a customer of a mistake. It’s stuff like this that makes me love this place. Don’t waste your time on overpriced sit down restaurants. Do yourself a favor and visit them today!

Oh and order the al pastor tacos and tamale. ❤️“

“amazing food, give it a try“

“This was my first time here and I truly enjoyed it! Our server, Daniella was excellent! She helped with drink choices and food choices! (I tried the Rudolph). The atmosphere was very chilled! Love it! My family and I will definitely come back!“

“After a long day of visiting tourists sites, I was in much need of an adult beverage and some grub. Our son told us that we had to go to Superica so we jumped in the car and took off like Batman looking for a Midnight dance with Cat Woman. In minutes we were through the door and quickly seated. Even though we had a fairly large party our server Justin made sure that we felt like the only people in the crowded room. The house salsa here is so incredible that I begged on hands and knees that the bartender craft a cocktail using it as the base. After much arguing, debating and signing of waivers, the bartender I believe his name is DeBossie (forgive me for the sp) returned with the David Moon Special. It was spicy, salsay (making up words) and refreshing. It's not for everyone but if you're bold enough to take the road less traveled then I highly recommend it. After a couple of DMs and stuffed on some of the best Mexican food I've ever had, and I've dined in many Latino countries, Chef Kenny came over for a chat. My wife had to stop me from jumping over the table and giving him a deep long kiss for the feast that he provided us. My whole family left full, happy and feeling like we didn't just dine but had an amazing experience. As a plus, most of the waitresses are very easy on your eyes if you know what I mean. Highly Highly Highly Recommend dining here. And if you mention that I sent you and you order a David Moon Special then they will give you a free yes FREE glass of Aqua. Guaranteed.

“Had to go back and grab four more to bring home.

If you’re anywhere near East Atlanta, this taco truck parked in a gas station lot is an absolute must-stop. It’s got that low-key, hidden-gem vibe — but the flavor is next level.

They’re still rocking early 2000s pricing: 4 tacos for just $10. You really can’t beat that.

I ordered two steak, one chicken, and one shrimp… and the steak was so good I had to go back for four more. Juicy, packed with flavor, and cooked just right. The soft tacos have this incredible cheese-crusted backing that gives you a slight crisp on the outside while the inside stays warm and soft — perfect texture in every bite.

All the toppings are freshly cut and taste like it. Nothing soggy, nothing bland — just clean, fresh flavor all the way through.

If you’re looking for a different twist on tacos and a quick meal that actually hits, this food truck is a winner. Don’t sleep on it.“

“Amazing Vibe 24/7 - delicious food and beverages 😋“

“The service was so fast, even on a busy Friday night. Food quality is always excellent. The duck tacos are an absolute favorite. You won't regret coming here.“

“Great food and pleasant servers“

“I had the pleasure of dining at Crescent City Kitchen today and let me tell you, THE Voodoo Eggrolls were amazing, and so was the CinnaBon profile!!! MEME was my server and she was amazing !! Gave great recommendations and great customer service! I will definitely be back!“

“Great food! I’ve had it 4 times and posted about the Trap Museum $2 Taco Tuesday. Awesome specials and left a comment about these being some of the best tacos.. they truly are. But who ever is running the Instagram, wow! I was blocked after leaving a compliment, and planned to order today! 😂 Still great food, just need some customer service training Lbvs“

“Awesome service and delicious food 🥰“

“I’ve seen this little food truck a couple dozen times at the corner of Brown Mill Road & North Central Road (Crowne Road SE) just off I-75. There’s always people in line but I just haven’t stopped because I’m very particular about Mexican food.
There is a real good selection to choose from and I almost bought three more tacos, a bowl, and 10 wings, however I decided instead of trying the menu all at once that I’d start small.
Ordered a fish taco on a flour tortilla with no cilantro, a steak taco with no cilantro and sour cream and an order of Mexican Street corn.
The fish taco was cooked to absolute perfection. It was seasoned and flavored nicely without being overly spicy. My only criticism would be amount of onions was a little excessive. After the first bite I took off half the remaining onions. I put a little of the sour cream on it and squeezed a wedge of lime, and it was extremely good.
The steak taco was also something I enjoyed very much. The meat was flavored without being spicy, tender and the sour cream with the cucumber slices and a little lime reminded me of mini-gyro, minus the tomato.
I watched her cut the Mexican Street corn off the cob and I used a wedge of lime on it. Other than needing just a little bit of salt it was very good.
The way my jobs run I know that I’ll be back in this neighborhood again And if they are here I think I’m going to try a chicken taco and a bowl as well as an Agua Fresca.“

“I'm giving 5 stars, but this review NEEDS to be read. As a vegetarian, I LOVE Holy Taco. They are one of the only restaurants in EAV that offer more than a few vegetarian/vegan friendly options that are actually super good. With that being said, my meat eater friends...well, there's much to be desired. My friend ordered the steak taco the other day and the steak that came on the taco looked like ground beef. It was gray looking and not appetizing. 1 out of 5. And for the LOVE of anything holy, PLEASE change your SALSA DIP. It always tastes like cold chunky tomato soup that lacks real seasoning and depth. Yuck. If Holy Taco could try harder at the salsa being the restaurant that it is, AND put more love into the meat options, I'm sure more people will frequent there. It's always so sad to go there and there's not a lot of people there. With that being said, I will always go back for the vegan chorizo taco and vegan drummies (even though $17 for vegan drumsticks is pretty dang pricey, so I don't get them every time). The drinks are always good and servers are always good, though they seem to have a quick turnover with servers. Again, I will say, I LOVE going there just for the vegan options, but I ALWAYS have to convince my friends to give it one more shot. Each time, they are sadly disappointed, mainly due to the salsa and taste of some meat options.

Holy Taco, please change your salsa recipe and put more love into some of the meat options for the meat eaters. Much love“

“One of my favorite restaurants. Prices are cheap, staff is welcoming, and it's BYOB. Al pastor is carved and 100% the way to go.

There's a popular place in NYC called LOS TACOS No.1, and what I got here was better in taste and half the price. 10/10.“

“Amazing food , drinks & service , such a cute spot , delicious strong margaritas & once again amazing service. ❤️“

“muy deliciosos antojitos mexicanos taco ,torta, pupusas,sopes Gorditas, huaraches,taco dorado,molote, quesadillas“

“Editing my review since I came back with a friend. Completely different experience than the last. 10/10 would recommend. You absolutely HAVE to try the chicken tacos. They were seasoned to perfection. Hours later and we’re still talking about how good they were. Drinks were strong as usual.“

“The pastor taco was delicious. The rice is dry but still good. Be prepared to order in Spanish or just point at the menu board. The cashier didn't want to speak English. I speak enough Spanish to order and converse but if you know how to say onion in English, you know the basics. I prefer to speak English but if my client is speaking the most popular language in the world and here in Atlanta, I'm going to speak it. I learn Spanish just for the few that pretend to no habla me lingua, y los otros que no entender realamente.“

“Kourtland was beyond amazing!! He’s such an asset and probably the best server I’ve ever had. He was attentive, knowledgeable, hilarious, kind, passionate and so much more. He deserves a raise and we will definitely be coming back just to see Kourtland.“

“Stopped by for the first time today and it was really great! We were worried since we were with our 2 toddlers but the menu variety is plentiful and kid friendly, food comes out super fast, and service was super friendly and kind. There's street parking (pay at the meter) in front of the restaurant and we had no problem finding a spot on Saturday night. Will be back!“

“friendly bartenders and servers.“

“I am coming back soon again ! I this place has it💯 good food. Thanks for getting my order correct. 💪🧠👍🏻“

“We were a party of 8. The food was delicious. We all ordered something different and everyone was happy. Fresh made chips were amazing. The best part was our server Chris. He was accommodating and made our evening very special. I have never written a review before but thought so highly of the hospitality that I had too.“

“This is my second time visiting this place, and I must say, it was an excellent experience. Markayla, the staff member, took great care of me. She was incredibly warm and friendly, making me feel at ease. I tried the strawberry cheesecake empanada, and it was absolutely delicious.“

“Today was our first time eating at Willie’s. We ate at the location on Woodward Parkway in Alpharetta, Georgia. It was very good. We both got the taco salad with ground beef and it was just it was so good. It was so very good. We both got guacamole on top of our taco salad. I wish we had gotten a separate order of guacamole because it was good. It was all very good. The managers name was Charlie. He was just a very nice man, a good manager, the people that work there seem to be very happy with their jobs, which I believe is important to the success of the restaurant. We are about 40 miles from our home so I’m not sure we will ever make it back here, but I’m going to look for a closer location because the food is just that good.“

“I just got my to-go order at Verde faster than you would in the drive thru at McDonalds. My food came out in 5 minutes. I was in and out in 8 minutes (took a little extra time to finish my marg once the food came out). Amazing. Love this place so much! My friend and I go at least once a week—the service is amazing and the food/drinks are incredible.“

“Total standout for upscale Mexican! Delicious, well-made drinks, guacamole, ceviche, Fresca salad, and all the Tacos. Nice wrap around Patio area too. Really appreciate the ability to order single Tacos as they’re all so good and you can easily try and get however may you want. This is definitely a go-to spot. Writing this is overdue but went to new MX spot also in Midtown but will absolutely continue coming here as it’s so much better!“

“Went to HobNob for the 1st time and so glad I went. It’s a hidden gem that you may miss because it’s located in the cut. The atmosphere was laid back and friendly. Dalyn was our waitress and was so pleasant, attentive and went out of her way to make our experience great. The food was also delicious! It’s been so hard finding good food in the area and as a New Yorker I’m very food picky. But shout out to the chef because I finally found a place that has a variety in their menu with food that actually tastes great! I shared shrimp tacos as an appetizer and had the grilled chicken Alfredo while my husband had the chicken and waffles. He loved it. I tried some of his and the cinnamon butter was absolutely delicious. The manager Derrick was so nice. He let us know about the trivia they have on Tuesdays and invited us to check it out. It sounds fun so we will definitely be there on a Tuesday! For now though, our next visit will be a dinner with family after our son’s christening. We contacted Jason the event planner who was excited to help and was extremely informative and professional. He had great energy and was looking forward to helping us secure their private room for our family dinner after the christening ceremony. We’re so excited we found this place and decided to fave our family come and taste the food after our christening event in 2 weeks. We can’t wait!“

“My friend and I had a great time here. It was not busy when we went and the server was helpful, answering questions and recommending options on the menu. The food and drinks were delicious. We had the basil fried rice- one with chicken and the other with shrimp, the chicken potstickers, and the shrimp cocktail. Would definitely return.“

“Found this spot on social media and I’m elated that I did!!! It’s in a small spot but that’s great. Not too much of a crowd. You can be very casual and enjoy great food!! The chef is very engaging and explains each dish. Everything was made fresh. The Suya and corn are “chef’s kiss”. But again, everything was great. Don’t overlook this hidden gem in Stone Mountain!!!“

“I will patronize this “Black owned business” any day. Great customer service from Meca and the owner Frank; and I’m BIG on customer service. How they treated me tonight, meant a lot to me….especially in world where it seems like how you people doesn’t matter anymore. I wish you all much success and I pray your business thrives. May God’s hands be upon all that you do. Much love!!“

“Staff are great and super kind! But the food is amazing! Highly recommend“

“I am a Philadelphia native. I have been in Atlanta for five years and have tried cheesesteaks across the Atlanta Metro area. Philly G steaks is hands-down the best that I’ve tasted! The food, the flavor, the quality the service is second to none.“

“Stopped in just now & had to leave a review. The breakfast burrito with Huevos, chorizo, papas & beans/cheese is bussin bussin frfr! And the sauce, brah.. you won’t be disappointed. Amazing service!“

“Always have a great time here. whether I'm alone or with friends. great food and better drinks😊“
